Meet Colonel (ret.) Chris Romberg, former British army officer (29 Commando Regiment), military attache at UK embassies in Egypt and Jordan, and son of a Holocaust survivor.

Chris was arrested today for supporting a terrorist organisation.

A quick thread > Image I first met Chris 17 years ago. His Jewish father fled from Austria to the UK, aged 25, to escape the Nazis, a fact which has motivated his protest today. 

“You grow up believing the myths you're told,” he said. “Land without people for a people without land, and all that.”
